19. Place a glowing stick of coal above a test tube full of the gas. If the stick glows brightly, then it is oxygen.
This is because oxygen gas provides oxygen to the embers of the coal stick, allowing it to reignite
20. Coal has a chemical property of flammability, allowing it to burn easily in air. This is useful when
starting a campfire. Pencil lead (graphite) has a physical property of softness in the Mohs scale of
mineral hardness. The softness of the graphite allows you to write, as residue is left behind through
abrasion. Diamonds have the physical property of reflectiveness. The sparkle in a diamond is purely
aesthetic. All of these substances have a physical property of around the same density. The only reason
their physical appearances are different is because of their structural atom makeup.
